Comparison Results: Trend Micro Deep Security's initial setup can vary in difficulty, while Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is generally described as straightforward. In terms of features, Trend Micro Deep Security offers comprehensive security solutions for data centers, including virtual patching and advanced options for endpoint security. Check Point CloudGuard Network Security provides valuable features like VPN, IPS, URL filtering, and centralized management. Price-wise, Trend Micro Deep Security is considered costly, as is Check Point CloudGuard Network Security, although it is seen as competitive. Both products have received mixed reviews for their customer support.
"The solution's most valuable feature is scalability. We can increase the number of CPUs, memory, and firewall throughput easily. Using CloudGuard Network Security for managing cloud firewall rules is considered easier than using the normal security groups provided by Azure or AWS."
"The most valuable feature I have found in CloudGuard Network Security is the flexibility to rebuild the firewall as needed."
"The product has allowed us to develop applications from the cloud - even with large environments and well-segmented security lines."
"The tool's most valuable features are IPS and blades. These features are valuable for security."
"The multiple virtual firewalls on one box are extremely useful and the interconnection with virtual switches is simple and easy to understand."
"What's most valuable to me is that it's a contiguous solution that aligns well with the components that we've relied on and trusted from a traditional hardware, firewall, and unified threat management system. My engineers and analysts don't have to learn another platform. We have already entrusted our security controls to Check Point for perimeter and physical security, and now we can do so at the virtual layer as well, which is key to us."
"Check Point CloudGuard technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature for me is that you have just one license. You can test and implement everything you need with one license. You do not need to pay for separate module licenses when you want IPS or other features."
"You can scale the solution to different versions."
"Very straightforward and very easy to implement."
"The integration and configuration of this product in our AWS environment was good. We haven't had any problems at all."
"For server security purposes, I like the product's firewall."
"I like the anti-malware features."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"The customer service/technical support for this solution is very fast."
"In addition to providing our clients a view of what's happening in their data centers, it also does virtual patching in the data center. It enhances the security in the data center big time."
"The main issue that I have noticed is that for deployment, it still requires a dedicated management server, and the gateway is completely different. That sometimes can cause issues."
"The connection to the on-premises management requires using the CLI. It's not just a click, and you cannot edit in the management to prepare everything. You need to do it online and in real time. After that, you must execute a script, and then you should be happy that it appears in the management."
"I would like to see more focus on east-west traffic inspection and AWS."
"The product can still grow."
"It's meeting our needs at this time. If I could make it better, it would be by making it more standalone. That would be beneficial to us. I say that because our current platform for virtualization is VMware. The issue isn't any fault of Check Point, it's more how the virtualization platform partners allow for that partnership and integration. There has to be close ties and partnerships between the vendors to ensure interoperability and sup-portability. There is only so far that Check Point, or any security vendor technology can go without the partnership and enablement of the virtualization platform vendor as it relies on "Service Insertion" to maintain optimal performance."
"The stability of the solution could be improved, but this is the problem of all the solutions in the market. This isn't just a problem specific to Check Point."
"New features have been introduced recently, but they have not yet been integrated into CloudGuard Vsec."
"The product needs to improve technical support."
"The email relays and proxies could be improved."
"It should have XDR and EDR integration. It would be nice if they can tie it up with an XDR or EDR."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"The tool needs to improve its subscription."
"The client can show as offline sometimes, and that becomes a bit difficult for troubleshooting. We end up basically redeploying the client. This is something that could be improved in the future."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"Their automation needs improvement."
"The workloads must be better."
